"The Haunted House on the Corner of Elm Street". Content Warning.
In a sleepy little town, on the corner of Elm Street, stood an old and gloomy building known as the "Haunted House." Over the decades, the townspeople carefully avoided passing by it at night, and by day frowned and were happy to go around the street corner to avoid seeing the corner of cracked walls and broken windows. The story behind the house said that the place was cursed, that it had witnessed terrible events, and that ghosts and stray spirits roamed the place unhindered. But, as happens in many such places, not everyone believed in superstitions, and a brave young man named David decided to find out the truth about the "Haunted House".
